What’s the difference between asphalt paving and seal coating?

Asphalt paving is the process of laying down a brand-new surface using a hot asphalt mix. It’s ideal for constructing new driveways, roads, or parking areas. Seal coating, on the other hand, is a protective top layer applied to existing asphalt. It helps prevent cracks, water damage, fading, and deterioration caused by sun and weather exposure. Think of paving as construction, and seal coating as maintenance—it helps extend the life of your surface.

How do I know if my asphalt surface needs to be replaced or just sealed?

If your surface has extensive cracking, potholes, or structural damage, full replacement may be necessary. However, if your asphalt is structurally sound but looks faded, dry, or slightly worn, seal coating can restore its appearance and protect it from future damage. We always offer a free estimate and honest evaluation. We’ll let you know exactly what your surface needs—nothing more, nothing less.

How long does a typical paving project take?

Most residential projects like driveways can be completed in 1–2 days, depending on the size and weather conditions. Commercial projects, such as parking lots or city streets, may take several days to complete. We work efficiently, keep communication clear, and always strive to stay on schedule. Before we begin, we’ll provide a realistic timeline and walk you through every step of the process.
